we are way over the politically correct line when a fucking weatherman is forced out over a rather benign statement.

Facebook is not your friend.. this is 2016.. act accordingly.

If you are a broadcaster and get paid to be in the public eye, you have to treat social media like a business account. No political viewpoints, religious commentary, or any item that might offend a demographic subset.

Employers don't want a boycott or demonstration brought to their doorsteps. It comes with the territory when you publicly represent a brand or company. I don't agree with firing him, but he should know better.

This guy was young enough to understand that "thug" is pretty close to the new version of the "n-word". It's not like he's some 70 year-old grandpa who grew up in different times. Plus, he's in a business -- journalism -- where neutrality and candor are stock in trade. It's an occupational hazard. Nobody to blame but himself.

He knew what he was doing. He was trying to call them niggers without actually saying the word, and got busted.

it doesn't appear like he put up any fight.. he resigned after saying he didn't realize his choice of words was offensive.

I wonder if he's going away quietly, or will we hear from his Lawyer soon?

maybe he was Facebook emboldened, because he didn't care if he was let go?

He shouldn't have said it but it is the truth.

Why are they trying to make these guys look like innocent little lambs.

Michael brown was caught on canera robbing a store and throwing around an old man right before his confrontation with police.

So if we use the word Thug here, do we have to resign from Hobbying?

oh wait.. that was all manufactured bullshit.. I heard that repeated so much, I almost fell for it.

and why was Sandra Bland's Mom there onstage? she wasn't shot, and the evidence says nobody killed her. playing the woman card? I would bet many black guys died within days of being jailed, as she did, and we didn't hear anything from their parent(s)..

Ms. Bland has some serious oratory skills, however.

I thought the same thing watching it. I'm sure many people felt the same way. Placating to idiots who can't separate fact from fiction. Absolute horseshit. Good for him.

I am still waiting for a provider to say mouth closed, don't cum yet!

Seems The AA are just looking to find more reasons to be offended. They do not own the word Thug, and I insist they stop being hurt by it.
